Planning approval for NHS staff homes in Barnet 02.07.21

Our residential scheme for Community Health Partnerships has been granted outline approval by Barnet Council. The proposal includes up to 130 affordable homes for NHS staff in four new buildings, ranging from three to five storeys of accommodation, with communal facilities in which staff can socialise. The housing, adjacent to Finchley Memorial Hospital in north London, will have access to landscaped spaces with trees, vegetation, and planting to create greater biodiversity for existing and new residents.
